I'll generalize this a little, to something also part of my experience during the past years: having known/worked-with something otherworldly which has been personally related to as divine. The attitude towards that experience is best described as "a knowing", I think.
As for faith (as defined by Q'uo and peregrine) in relation to that experience, it plays two roles. Just before it all, faith reached a little peak. Later on, as a result of metaphorically being through heaven and hell, faith increased over time. Things which are heavy no longer weigh me down to the same extent, in the same way, even though every-day negativity is still as common in my life.
